The Seven Secrets of Inspiring Leaders

Here's an article from the Toastmasters Magazine which i find relevant to share to those who are leaders in their own way. Below is Leadership secrets 1 to 4.

1. Demonstrate enthusiasm constantly
- Inspiring leaders have an abundance of passion of what they do. You cannot inspire unless you’re inspired yourself. Passion can’t be taught. You either have passion in your message or you don’t.

2. Articulate a compelling reason to take action.
- Inspiring leaders craft and deliver a specific, consistent and memorable vision. Just like the vision of Bill Gates – putting a computer in every desk in every home.

3. Sell the benefit
- Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them. The first thing to answer or satisfy when listeners are asking themselves “What’s in it for me?”

4. Tell More stories
- Inspiring leaders tell memorable stories. Stories connect with people on the emotional level. You cannot underestimate the power of stories.
